Doesn’t it depend on what it costs? The ticket each way between Raleigh and Charlotte is 50.00. How are you going to get to work from the station?

When the train stop comes to Lexington, I’ll park my car at the depot right there in the vicinity of the farmer’s market, ride the fast train to Charlotte while I’m grading papers or reading a book or sleeping. At the Charlotte depot, I’ll catch the light rail train to the university, and in the afternoons, I’ll reverse direction and wind up back at the depot by dinnertime.

Don’t you love a dreamer......or is he on drugs?

Actuallly, the standard one-way fare from Raleigh to Charlotte is only $25.
However many discounts are available for seniors, students, veterans, etc. etc.
There may also be special rates available for frequent passengers/commuters.

There seem to be no shortage of profitable high speed trains around Charlotte. They do a round trip in only a few minutes.
